Bruises

I held ur hand as u cried
I caught the rain when i tried
I couldn’t see the light when
You left ur mark on me

Wipe all the tears off ur face
Spray my eyes with some mace
This doesn’t feel like that place
Where i feel most safe

You don’t know what you did
You just put a thousand bruises
All across your fragile body
The fact that you don’t feel it shocks me
Here in this pandemic
We all just got to panic
Then the fires started smoking us out
Everything burned to the ground

The street lights illuminate
Then we closеd the gates
It was nevеr okay
To have us keep quiet
